Power

Malcolm Gladwell’s next book, slated for release late this year, is still such early stages of development that it doesn’t have a title or a release date yet. But it’s worth having on your radar, and here’s why: Gladwell, who transformed ancient concepts like virality and statistical outliers from heady theoretical building blocks into surprising, irresistible pop science, has announced that his next project is all about the dynamics and “foibles of power.”

His investigation into the nature of power was partially inspired by the Occupy movement.
